Nebulated

And now it can be told: my novelette “Map of Seventeen” has been nominated for this year’s Nebula Awards. This is the third time for me to be nominated for the Nebula. The first time was in 2007, when I was also in the novelette category with my story “The Language of Moths”. The second time was last year, when my novel-in-stories, The Love We Share Without Knowing, was nominated in the novel category. Is third-time’s-a-charm for real? I don’t know, but I’m honored as always to be included as a writer in these awards.

Here’s the press release for the awards, along with all of the other nominees. Congratulations to everyone. See you in D.C. at the ceremony.
